Some of the most magnificent Easter eggs in the world, were created by Peter Carl Fabergé. A, a master Russian goldsmith. In 1884, Czar Alexander III wanted a special Easter gift for his wife, the Czarina. Although Fabergé’s first imperial Easter Egg appeared to be an ordinary hen’s egg. The, the outer shell, made of gold enamelledenamel in the off-white colour of a hen’s egg, opened to reveal a yolk of gold that contained a tiny chicken, elaborately crafted of several shades of gold. Hidden inside the chicken was a surprise. An – an intricate, jewelled model of the imperial crown, which opened to reveal a tiny ruby egg. Because the Czar was so delighted, he commissioned Fabergé to create a new egg each Easter and gave the goldsmith one other instruction: to include a surprise in each egg. Which, of course, Fabergé wisely did.
